Worth seeing because its the first
This was the first of the FOCA reviews, and it shows. Running for a little under 90 minutes, it is unfortunate that almost a third of that time is used up on a very repetitive introduction that really involves little more than close up shots of the likes of Piquet, Jones et al, none of whom could exactly be classed as pin-ups.
However, once the action gets under way, it is all good, focussing on a very exciting and close season with 5 drivers chasing the title almost to the wire. The racing itself is excellent, although the commentary is rather lacking in sparkle.

Solid coverage of an interesting season
The 1981 season was dominated by two clashes- on track Williams vs. Nelson Piquet of Brabham; and off track FISA vs. FOCA in the battle for control of the World Championship. As well as the squabbling Williams team-mates (Reutemann and Jones) 1981 also featured the awesome Gilles Villeneuve.
This review has the best of the action, makes sense of the politics (just!) and bearing in mind that it was the first in-depth season review in Formula One polishes up remarkably well. Very matchable.
